Not much info there but I wish they'd make up their mind so I know if to keep putting money into my current 2!

Mazdaspeed2 would be cool, but, how much?

It would have to be close to Ford Fiesta ST cost. Which starts at $20,915. 1.6L EcoBoost I-4 engine197 hp, 202 lb.-ft. of torque.

If they do come out with a MAZDASPEED2 and it doesn't come to the US I'm going to rage. (gah)

Dang and in my country my Sport costed me 21k. And that's without counting the interest from the bank lease.

Dude! We're trying to convince Mazda that we DO need a Speed2! Come on mang!

We dont need no Speed2 dude! We already have 100 menacing horses of torque-less power! I say, keep pouring money in your 2, itll all be worth it in the end.

$20,915 is the starting price. Once you leave the dealer you're probably looking at closer to $23,500 - $24,500 maybe.

Well, Honda sells a factory supercharger for the crx now, even though the car is being discontinued. Maybe more a push for Mazda. It would be sad for them to be last in the segment.

Ran into this article on Jalopnik.com which talks about the new MX-5 getting a coupe version a year after it's launched. This lead me to this article from autonews.com that also talks about a possible MAZDASPEED3 and class leading performance for the Mazda 2.

Mazda2: U.S.-bound production of the redesigned Mazda2 begins in November. The subcompact rides on an all-new platform using the Skyactiv architecture and powertrains. Base models will get power from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder Skyactiv engine; Mazda also will offer a sportier Mazda2 with a 1.5-liter modified with a freer-breathing intake and exhaust for increased power as Mazda seeks class-leading performance among subcompacts.

Class leading performance among subcompacts? This can only happen with more power right? I hope they aren't talking about only handling.

The Mazda speed 2 is already out its available in Australia but not the USA yet. Just ask Antoine he will tell you.

Proof or it didn't happen.

@Antoine: Confirm?

More MAZDASPEED2 info.

Mazda’s global sales and marketing general manager told the publication that "One of the challenges we (Mazda) are currently considering is how to maintain the product competitiveness throughout the lifecycle. For some markets a sportier version would work." Specific details don’t exist just yet, but the idea of a Volkswagen Polo GTI and Ford Fiesta ST fighter coming from Mazda sounds great to us. Mazda is also confident it can make this pocket rocket relevant against those rivals. It really just boils down to having enough customer interest. For now the automaker wants to see how initial sales of the new Mazda2 pan out. Rendering courtesy of X-Tomi Design.

Kengo Fukushima, who said he would like to see in the offer a model that would compete with the Ford Fiesta ST and other similar models.

B segment class leading right now as of 2015 Models already introduced is nearing the 140 mark(Mini Hyundai and Kia) That would be a 40% boost in power from the current model (2014) and way above our (mazda247) speculated HP for the 2015 model.

Let's just hope it stays the same weight as the current model AND gets this speculated boost in power.
